This is an original Imperial Japanese Army military handbook titled. (“What Every Logistics Soldier Should Know”), supervised by the Army Inspector General of Military Education. The cover is marked. Army Inspector General of Military Education Supervision. This was a compact educational handbook intended for soldiers serving in the Japanese Army’s logistics and transport branch. What Was the Army Inspector General of Military Education? The Army Inspector General of Military Education was one of the most influential organizations within the Imperial Japanese Army. It was responsible for military doctrine, officer education, training programs, and the preparation of official instructional materials used throughout the army. Because this handbook was supervised by that organization, it was not simply a commercial publication but an official educational reference reflecting Imperial Japanese Army training standards. The Forgotten Soldiers of the Japanese Army. The Shichohei (Logistics Corps) were responsible for transporting food, ammunition, equipment, uniforms, and horses to frontline units. In modern terms, they were the military logistics and supply branch. Interestingly, logistics troops often received less prestige than combat arms within the Japanese military culture. A famous wartime saying even mocked them as. Shichohei are not real soldiers. History ultimately proved otherwise. Many military historians consider Japan’s chronic logistical weaknesses to be one of the major factors contributing to its defeat during the Pacific War. As supply lines collapsed, entire units suffered from starvation, ammunition shortages, and lack of equipment. This handbook therefore represents a rarely preserved glimpse into the branch responsible for sustaining the Japanese Army. Imperial and military flags. Orders, decorations, and medals. Army uniforms and equipment. Logistics and transport training. Several attractive fold-out color plates illustrate military insignia, decorations, flags, and uniforms, making this both a practical military handbook and an excellent research reference. Why It Is Scarce. Most Japanese military instructional materials were discarded or destroyed after 1945. Pocket reference books such as this were heavily used by soldiers and rarely survived in good condition. Furthermore, while infantry, aviation, and armored units are widely collected today, surviving materials relating specifically to the Japanese Army’s logistics branch appear much less frequently on the market. An excellent item for collectors of Imperial Japanese military history, military education, uniforms, insignia, and logistics history. Own a Piece of History. International Buyers – Please Note.

Original 1927 United States Fleet Baseball Championship program/scorecard from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, dated April 6-7, 1927. The game matched Aircraft Squadrons, Scouting Fleet – champions of the Scouting Fleet in 1926 and 1927 – against USS California, champions of the Battle Fleet. Interior pages list prior Scouting Fleet and Battle Fleet game results, batting order, reserve players, and hand-entered scoring. Printed at bottom: U. ” Reverse/inner page includes period “Aircraft Songs, ” including “Hit It Again” and “Bye, Bye, Prune Barge. ” From the YN2 Robert “Dinty Moore U. Navy archive, with Moore’s handwritten service history retained as provenance linking the archive to his interwar Navy service aboard USS Whitney, USS Concord, and USS Dobbin. A rare interwar U. Navy sports and fleet-aviation artifact tying together baseball, Guantanamo Bay, Scouting Fleet aviation, USS Wright, and USS California. Interior scoring is handwritten in pencil. Displays well with strong typography and excellent fleet/baseball content. USS Wright matters here because the program itself is printed U. Wright – 4-6-27 – 2500, and a specialized naval baseball reference identifies this exact type of 1927 Fleet Baseball Championship scorecard as USS Wright-produced for the Scouting Fleet vs. Battle Fleet championship at Guantanamo Bay. Wright also fits the aviation/scouting context, as NHHC records Wright serving aviation/scouting functions and supporting Scouting Fleet aircraft operations. Dobbin also fits Moore’s broader Scouting Fleet context; NHHC notes Dobbin served with the Scouting Fleet and operated out of Guantanamo Bay in the 1920s.

S ARMY, AIR SERVICE AVIATOR, SWEETHEART WING, 1/20 12K GF, VINTAGE. Pinback, Hallmarked “1/20 12K GF”. S Army Air Service Aviator sweetheart wing is a must-have for any militaria collector. With a charming design and 1/20 12K gold-filled construction, this original piece from the WWI-1930s era is a true gem. The wing has not been modified and comes with a guarantee of authenticity. The country of origin is the United States. The theme of this piece is clear and would make a great addition to any militaria collection. This wing is an original piece and not a reproduction. A perfect piece for collectors of Original Period Items, 1919-38, Militaria, or Sweetheart Collectibles. “1/20 12K GF” is a stamp you’ll see on jewelry to indicate it’s gold-filled. Here’s a breakdown of the meaning. 1/20: This refers to the fraction of the total item weight that is gold. In this case, 1/20th of the item’s weight is gold. So, for example, if a piece of jewelry weighs 10 grams, then 1/20th of that (0.5 grams) would be gold. 12K: This refers to the karat weight of the gold. Karat (abbreviated K) is a unit used to measure the purity of gold. 24K is pure gold, while lower karats indicate that the gold is mixed with other metals. In this case, 12K gold is 50% pure gold (12 parts out of 24). GF: This stands for gold-filled. Gold-filled jewelry is made by pressure bonding a layer of gold to a core of a less expensive metal, such as brass. The gold layer must be at least 5% of the total weight of the item to be considered gold-filled by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in the US. So, “1/20 12K GF” means that the jewelry item is gold-filled, with a layer of 12K gold that constitutes 5% of the item’s weight. The concept of “Sweetheart Wings” has a long standing tradition that dates all the way back to World War I. Upon graduating pilot training, servicemen would have a set of their wings turned into a pin or pendant by a local jeweler in order to give to their girlfriend, fiancé, or wife before they went overseas. This custom grew even more popular during World War II, and the handcrafted jewelry became that much more impressive. They would be responsible to send the package to you.
